Highly recommended, and not just because I illustrated a story herein. The second volume of this excellent series contains statistics on the sales figures of Archie digests, an interview with Steve Darnell about his always worth reading Nostalgia Digest, an interview with paperback book collector and historian Gary Lovisi. an overview of the '60s digest Borderline: The Magazine That Dares the Unknown and much more, including fiction, cartoons, and letters. If you love the world and history of digests, this is for you!

Another great issue!
Following up on a successful inaugural effort, book two of the Digest Enthusiast is now available. This issue is chock full of great articles, interviews and fiction. I highly recommend the short story Painesville and the interview with crime writer Robert Lopresti. Joe Wherle's article on Beyond Fantasy Fiction was informative and well written. Keep up the great work!
